LAW AM) UW1ERS.
The Bar of Ireland.
from the National Quarter's for Srptemlxr.
In Irclnnd, as In England, thrre are two
grades or cinfcs of law j ere. Here, a lawver is
at once counpollcr and attorney; thrre, the
barrister who trends occupies a superior status
o the attorney who pets up the case, collects
the evidence, and prepares the Matemcnt In
brief on which the otlier acts. Under no cir
cumstances can an attorney, however well qua
lified by knowledge, expciienco, Intellect, and
harnetor, aspire to a seat on the judicial
bench. That privilege is reserved for the bar
rister. To be admitted to the Irv-h bar. all that a man
need do is to enter his name at Kind's Iun, Dub
lin (a ort ot pseudo-legal seminary, where
nothing is taught); pay a tine of six hundred
dollars: eat a lew nice dinuers during each lepal
term with his fellow-students in the Old Hall:
at the end of two jenrs eat an equal number ot
term-dinners In the halls of one of the four Inns
of Court in London, and then, without any ex
amination, or any other t;st ot his capacity or
acquirements, present himself to the benches of
the King's Inn, in Dublin, who admit him torth
with te the dignity ot utter, or outer bnrrister-at-law,
which entitles him to bo spoken of as
'the learned gentleman" for the rest of hU life.
That he has eaten forly-cipht dinners at a legal
ordinary in four years is all that he need show.
This knife-and-tork practice is called ' keeping
nis terms." Ot course, a great many embryo
barristers actually employ tucse tour years in
the study of the law, but they need not take
that trouble, unless they desire to succeed at
the bar.
The attorney, on the other hand, must pay an
apprentice fee to the master who undertakes to
teach him the practice of the law, aud has hIso
to pay a heavy stamp duty (seven hundred dol
lars) on the indenture by "which he is "articled."
At the end of live years he has to present bim
nelf before a board of examiners, with his claim
to be admitted to status of attorne,y-at-law. The
examination, which laHts fur, several days, is
strict and searching. Many candidates fail to
pass it, and are sent back lor six or twelve
months. If admitted, the young attorney has
to pay another seven hundred dollars lor the
stamp on his certilicate, and an annual sum of
from filty to one hundred dollars for license to
practice. The bairister may become Queen's
Coursel, Sergcnnt-at-Law. Attorney-General,
Holicitor-General, or Judse; but once an attorney,
almost always an attorney. If he aspire to be
come a bun inte r he must cease to practice as an
attorney for two years before he is permitted to
commence "eating his terms" for three years.
Yet it is the attorney who literally instructs the
barrister, always in the tacts and sometimes in
the law of each case; for it is held infra din. in
Ireland and in Entrland for the barrister to hold
the slightest intercourse before or during a trial
with his clicut or the witnesses. The attorney
gets all the required infotmation, and hands it
over to him. The burrister's fee is only an hono
rarium & gift to which he hws no legal claims
(though lie usually mukes a point of getting the
fee before he reads a line or utters a word lor
his client), wh'lo the attorney's bill Is one of the
institutions of the country. He may sue for It:
it roav be taxed, but it must be paid, and he
may detain his client's papers until it is paid.
.There are now seven hundred barristers in
Ireland, including about one hundred and fifty
who hold various judicial and other offices, and
at least as many moTe who do not practice at
all. Of the six hundred who practice, one-h ill'
attend the circuits the thirly-two Irish coun
ties being divided into five circuits, and the
assizes are held twice a year in each county.
There are about sixteen hundred practicing at
torneys in Ireland, nearly double the number
of the barristers. Custom has divided the class
attorney into solicitor and attorneys; the
solicitors attending to equity and chamber
practice, and the attorney to nisi rrrius and
common law. A wit, who was askea to state
the distinction between the solicitor and the
attorney, sarcastically replied: " Tbe same
liUerence as between an alligator and a croco
dile." Ireland rejoices in a full staff of well-paid
judges. The Lord Chancellor has $10,000 a
year, with fees, aud the chances of putting all
Ins male relatives into some well-paid duces.
Unlike the English Chancellor, he has no
church patronage; the appointment ot puisne
.1udp.es does not ietl with him; whereas the
"English Chancellor nominates all tbe judicial
officers except the Vice Chancellor, the Masters
of the Roll, the Lords Justice of Appeals, the
Judge of the Admiralty, aud the Chieis of the
Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and
' Exchequer, to all of which the Prime Minister
appoints. There Is no Chancellor in Scotland.
Winfu the Irish Chancellor resigns, which
rarely happens, except wheu there is a
change ot ministry, he is gently solaced with a
lile-pension of $20,000 per annum, and this
whether his stay in office has been long or
short. Thus, Mr. George Ponsonby held oilice ,
in Ireland tor a tew months, in 180G, and when
his party went out accompauied tueni, receiv
ing this large pension until he died, in 1817.
Sir Edward Bugden, in 1835, was Irish Chan
cellor for three months, and then refianed on
the pension. In 1841, when the English Whig
Ministry were "dead beaten," and could Hud no
legal sinecure for Sir John Campbell, then Attorney-General,
they actually compelled their
own triend, Lord Plunket, to resign the Iribh
hancellorehip. pensioning him of course, and
appointed Campbell, whose duration of otlice
was six weeks in time, though all his sittings on
the bench occupied only sixteon hours, during
'which he partly heard tour cases, and then re
tired, obtaining not only the pension, but a peer
age, lie eventually became Chief Justice, aud
finally Chancellor of England, dying in that
office a tew years ago. It should be added, how
ever, that any one who has been a judge in any
part of the British empire never can return to
practice at the bar. The pension to a j udgc,
removed on political grounds, is to compensate
him for loss of income from his practice as a
lawyer.
So much afraid has the English Government
been of having Irishmen at ttie head of Irish
affairs, that from December, lG'JO, until 1789, a
period of one hundred years, no native lawyer
was appointed Chancellor in Ireland. Then
Fitzgibbon, afterward Lord Clare, a man of
undoubted ability, whatever his political taults,
was the first Irishman who held that office.
Out of fifteen Chancellors appointed since 1789,
the only Irishmen were Pluuket, Brady, Black
burnc, and Napier. As a general rule the highest
Judge in Ireland was taken from the English
bar. But while Irish lawyers submitted to this,
English lawyers steadily and successfully re
sisted any like application ot the same principle.
In 1827, when Mr. Canning appointed Plunket,
then the best ot Irish lawyers, and perhaps
without a superior in equity in any country, to
the judicial office of master of the rolls in Eng
land, the English bar refused to appear before
him because he was only an Irish lawyer, and
the appointment had to bo canceled. An Irish
barrister cannot nlead, au Irish attorney can
not act, in any English court of law, except
before the House of Lords, which is as much
the ultimate Court of Appeal in ''the old coun
try" as the Supreme Court at Washineton is in
the United States. Nay, it was actually pro-
poseu omy iweive years ago tttat the Important
cases always tried Oelore the Superior Judges in
Dublin should be thenceforth tried In London
than which, on account of the delay end ex
pense, no greater denial of Justice could possibly
oe contrived.
In Ireland, besides Jhe Chancellor, Master of
tne Rolls, ana bora justice or Appeul, there are
twelve judges 01 mo courts or yueen's Bench,
Common PIph.8. and Excheouer. and .1
the Admiralty, Conslstoria) and Ecclesiastical
courts, besides a numerous array 01 Kecoi ders.
(who act iudiclouslv). Manorial and Kenesulm
Judges, and thirty-three Chairmen of Quarter
Sessions. The salaries range from $40,000 to
$4000 a year; and. in most cases, when a iudeo
leaves the bencb he obtains as of right a Hf
pension, generally equal to two-thirds of his
rami j.
Near the elope ot th lad wn)nn T.nrrt Chan.
cellor Clare, described by Sir Jonah Barrington
&S "a despot, and the greatest enemy Ireland
ever had," wishing to corrupt tbe Irish bar,
created thirty-two judicial offices in Ireland by
a single ci vi rttrntmi'jut, to be held by bar
Tutors of six years' standing, with salaries ave
raging from $2500 to $40lM a year. "lie had
felt in his own experience," Mr. Slit iloatrl, "how
far the receipt of public money may extingimn
a sensibility to public abuses." To each county
in Ireland he gave a lawyer, whose ostensible
dutv was to advise the Justices of the Peace
sitting cu the bench at Quarter Sessions mere
countiy gentlemen who knew little or nothing
of law, and sometimes exhibited equal brno
rance of justice. This official was first called
"AsMstant Barrister," because It was supposed
that his business was to assist the country
magistrate with his legal advice. Now and
then there would be a revolt apainst this Wal
official (as when, In 1825, the Kail of Kingston
Insisted that he, ai oldest and grandost magis
trate present, and not Assistant Barrister Mart
ley, should pronounce sentence upon certain
convicted criminals); but in course of time,
wbtn able lawyers were appointed, their au
thority prevailed they did the work they tried
crinvnitl and civil suits they became chairmen
of Quaitcr Sessions, by which title they are now
known. The eaily designation "Assistant Bar
rister" obtained no popular respect, for the
populace understood that it meant au inlcrlor
lawyer.
Irish lawyers of tbe last century were proud
ot their profession, whit h was then the only
read for the middle classes to the highest sta
tions in the land; proud of their country, for
in it they were the equals of the highest noble;
seeing In la nobiesse de la robe a dignity higher
than that of the mere accident of patrician
birth; tbey were ready, according to the cus
tom of the time, to back their quarrels on the
field, and an active fancy and a ready pen fre
quently rr quired support from the quick eye or
the steady band upon tic pistol or the rapier.
Almost eveiy lawyer of eaiincnce who Eat upon
the judicial "bench, or pleaded in the law courts
between 1780 and 1820. had fought at least one
duel. Even parties in lawsuits were accustomed
to the use of the pistol.
An Irish gentleman, who was about being
tried lor a misdemeanor, was informed by the
judge, as the names ot the lury were being
called over, that ho might challenge any of
them for cause. "My Lord," said he, "I'll wait
until the trial is over, and if they give a verdict
against me I'll challenge every mother's son of
them."
horn 1690 to 1798 a Catholic could nol become
a member of the Irish bar. Mr. O'Connell, who
had been educated in France forthe priesthood,
was one of the curliest among the Catholics to
become a lawyer, when the bar was opened to
thf m. The profession afforded great scope to
ambition ; the preliminary cost of keeping terms,
two years in Dublin, and two years in London,
was so great that the sons of persons with
limited means were seldom able to become law
yers. However. John Scott, aitcrwards Chief
Justice and Earl ot Clonmel, vtas a poor man's
son, helped lorward by a rich merchant in Cork.
Bany Yelverton, who told his mother while yet
in his teens, that be wished lie had eleven shirts
more, as every gcullcniati ought to have a dozen,
reached the bench and the peerage as Viscount
Avonmore. Cuiran, literally educated on
charity, and enabled to study the law through
the liberality of his wife's father, had thegreatest
popularity, and the largest practice at the bar
for nearly thirty yours, aud finally become
Master of the Rolls an equity judge, imme
diately next to the Lord Chancellor.
We tan well understard thepride with which,
when dining- with the Prince ot Wales, after
wards George IV, and asked what his proiession
had done lor him, he answered, "It has enabled
the son ot an Irish peasant to sit at the table of
his Prince.-'
The present Iribh bar does not rank as high as
that which Ireland was proud of, and with
ample cause, in that remarkably briliiuntthough
too brief period. In the days of Louis XV, the
Great Chancellor of France, D'Auesseuu, wrote
that the profession of the lawyer was "Nobility
without title, rank without birth, and riches
without an estate." This was the truth as
applied to the bar of Ireland in the lust century,
and more particularly towards its close. Then
the gown of the lawyer was as honorable as tbe
ribbon of the noble, and in the provincial con
dition of the country the bar was almost tbe
only road to distinction. In the twenty years
immediately preceding the Union nearly a dozen
of the first lawyers were raised to tbe peerage.
Many inlluenccs combined to lead young law
yers into Parliament. He who had talent, as
well as ambition, might reasonably hope, by
such a pathway, to reach preferment anil
renown; and if he did nit become a Judge at an
early period, at least to reach scarcely less lucra
tive oflices.
The great parliamentary debaters on the
popular side w ere lawyers. Henry Burgh, who
reached the office of Prime Sergeant, the highest
rank at the Irish bar, before lie was thirty-six,
was one of the most brilliant orators in the
House of Commons. His hand was liberal, his
fortune limited. To him, as to others, wealth
and rank must have been powerful temptations
he always admitted that they were but high
above tnem rose a strong love tor Ireland.
When the question of independence was de
bated, Burgh, though in otlice, made a powerful
sj eech in favor of his country. The House rose
en masse to cheer him, as he concluded with au
allusion to the volunteers and said: "Talk not
to meof peace; Ireland is not in a state of peace;
it is smothered war. England has sown her
laws like dragon's teeth, and they have sprung
up aimed men." He knew the penalty of being
honest, and resigned office; but was; too illustri
ous to become obscure. As Grattan said twenty
years after the death of Buigh, "The galas of
promotion were shut upon him as those of glory
opened."
Flood, who fought the battle of Irish Inde
pendence 60 nobly, until he accepted a lucra
tive otlice from the Government, and was one
of tbe ablest and most persuasive among politi
cal orators, was a lawyer, though he did not
practice. His erreat rival, Henry Grattan. was
culled to the bar before he entered Parliament.
and no doubt his legal studies were of ultimate
advantage to him iu disciplining his mind. But
his heart never w as in his profession. Iu the
first and, we believe, the only cause in which
be pleaded, he was o conscientious and un
lawyeilike as, not having gained a verdict, to
return to his client one-halt ot" the fee of Ultv
guineas which he had received. He was the
greatest parliamentary orator Ireland ever pro
duced. His schoolfellow. Fitzgibbon. who commenced
his political course as a patriot, was also such
an able lawyer that, during the thirteen years
of his Chancellorship, very few of his decrees
were reversed unon aDDea!. He ouerht to have
been superior to mercenary influences, for his
inneiiied iortune was large, tiis personal
courage was great, and the coutempt which bis
tongue boldly spoke, his weapon as boldiv de
fended. His pride, which was boundless,
equalled his ambition. He ever aimed at power,
ana at ouice, and rank as tbe instruments tor
getting it. I'or over twelve years, that is, until
after the union with Enelund was effected, und
irnuuu s uuerties prostrated, ne ruled nis native
land with more power than anv of the livn
vicerovs sent thither by tbe Eue'lish monarch
during that time. Having manoeuvred himself

lie was treated, on the contrary, as one for
whom there was no further need, and died
soon after, rather of chagrin than of natural
decay. In bis hour of haughty pride he had
declared that be would make the Irish people
us tame iis cats, and at his funeral, whin his
remains were lowered into the grave, the
populace, who hated him, cast a shower of cats
upon the coffin. An injured people may submit,
but never foreet. ' '
There was Carleton. the saddest looking man
on the bench, who wo:. Id have been invaluable
to an undertaker as a mute at a funeral. His
melancholy aBpectand subdued manner iuduced
Curran to say tbHt he was plaintive in every
case. There was Wolfe, an amiable and just
iudee, murdered by mistake in tbe street dining
tobeit Emmett's revolt in' 1803. 7'here was
Downes, who bad the largest face, perhaps, ever
possessed bv aisvone who was not a monstrosltv.

mere was Toler, whose sele inheritance as a;
younger son was a pair ot saw-naudieu duelling
pistols, with which, rather than by legal kno
ledte he fougU his way from the condition of a
briefless barrister into the House ot Commons,
and Anally to the judicial ermine and an earl
dom. Iheie was Barry Yelverton, so lone the
friend and boon componion of Cnrrn, and, in
deed, his townsman. He made hU way to the
bar through sell-denial, poverty, and difficulty.
Naturally eonvivl il, he never allowed pleasure
to unlit him for buslnes".
He was laborious and learned, and though not
muster of tliH logical areument of Flood, the
biilliant antithesis ot Grattan, the captivating
rhetorlo of Burgh, the mathematical teosoning
of Plunket, or the fascinating imagery and
varied pathos of Currn. he possessed a bold,
nervous, affluent eloquence of his own Dery
and fervid, as well as weighty and distinct
which made him a formidable opponent. He
wns fully forty years old before he entered Par
liament, and at once became a powerful aid to
Grattan and Flood in their great battle for Irish
independence. In 1783 he listened to overtures
from the Government, who desired to detach
him lrom the popular cause, and accepted the
office of Chief Boron of the Exchequer, then
vacant by the death of Henry Burgh. He was
promised a peerage, but had to wait several
years for it.
As a judge he stands tans peur et nam reproche,
his only fault being that he would sometimes
rreccive impressions too soon and too sttongly.
This arose from the quickness ot his perception,
but he learned to discipline his judgment, and
was deservedly popular. Of his eloquence only
a lew sentences have been preserved. A lowyer
pleading belore him spoke slightingly of the
"Commentaries ot Blackstone," and he impres
sively corrected him. "Blackstone," he said,
"first gave to the law the air of selence: he
found 'it a skeleton, and clothed it with flesh,
color, nd complexion; he embraced the cold
statue, and by bis touch it grew into life, sense,
and beauty."
Curran, who, as as advocate, was surpassed
only by O'Connell, who was one of the sounded
lawyers of his time, also had a seat in Parlia
ment, and invariably spoke and voted on the
patriotic side; be did more be followed the
practice ot the time und place, and lought seve
rul duels. It w as a fighting era so much so
that once, during a parliamentary election, when
the lival candidates had a dispute on the hust
ings, the High Sheriff politely and obligingly
adiourncd tUe proceedings, while the two gen
tlemen proceeded to an adjacent Ael J to ex
chance shots. Everywhere he was fearless and
uncompromising. As an orator, wit, and boon
companion his success has rarely, If ever, been
equalled; He had been six years iu Parliament,
and had not reached the age ot forty when the
liegeiicy bill came belore the House ot Com
mons. At that period he was a struggling man,
with expensive associates, and what he used to
call "a laree small family." He was offered the
Chiel Justiceship of Ireland, with a peerage, If
he would vote with me uovernment on that
bill. He was not to be bought; he spurned the
bribe, and voted against the Government.
Fitgibron. w ho bad been ostentatiously anti
miuisterial up to that period, was also ap
proached; he swallowed the bait with avidity,
was made Lord Chancellor, with a peerage, and
thenceforth was a deadly foe to Irish liberty.
Curran is grandly identitied with the best and
the most sorrowful years of Ireland's short
lived nationality. He was known, tried, and
trusted by his countrymen. He was tne centre
of the flashing wits, the renowned orators, the
brilliant advocates, the true patriots of Ireland.
To use the words of Thomas Davis (who resem
bled him in mauy points), Cuiran was "a com
panion umivaled In svmoathv and wit: au ora
tor, whoso thought went forth like ministers of
nature, with robes ot light and swords in their
canas; a patriot, wno oatuea uesi wnen tne
flag was trampled down; und a genuine, earnest
man, breathing of his climate, his country, and
his lime."
Samin and Plunkett, Bellew and Goold, Egan
and Bushe, Langnshand Barrington, with many
others who made the Irish bar illustrious be
tween seventy and eighty years ago, entered
keenly into-political life, and rushed from the
forum to the Senate, eager partisans on the side
of the country; and the two first of these
brought into party debate a concentration of
thought, joined with the subtlest logic and the
most fervid, expression, which happy union
made un eloquence scarcely inferior to that of
Bulks in the British Parliament. Saurin, who
declined tlie ermine, wa Altorney-ueneral,
alter the union, lor many years, and waa a
creat lawyer. Plunkett, successively Attorney-
General. Chief Justice of the Common Pleas,
and Lord Chancellor, entered the British House
of Commons some years after the union which
he so vehemently opposed, and was finally made
Lord Chansellor, with a peerage.
It is much to his credit, that, while he was a
law officer of the Crown, he never would sanc
tion Hie practice of "packing a jury," which
bad previously been much indulged in on the
part of the Government. For many years he
was one ot the most eloquent arguers in the
British Parliament, and to him, alter the death
ot Grattan. w as confided by the Irish Catholics
the difficult championship of their cause. An
other ot the men of their time, "when there
w ere giants in the lard," was Charles Kendal
Buthe, one of the most accomplished and effect-
endowed with lively and spontaneous wit-, and
also a great lawyer. He held the office of Chief
Justice from 1822 to 1842, aud died iu the year
following. We need not proceed lurther with
this catalogue raisonne O'Connell, O'Logblin,
Blackburne, Lefroy, JNeitn, joonerty, oooid,
Wallace, and others, who belong to that memo
rable time. Shell and Phillips nave described
them with spirit und accuracy in their respec
tive books, and they merit better than to be
crowded into a paragraph at the close of un
article.
The general impression, not quite unfounded,
is, that tbe members of the Irish bar are better
advocates than lawyers, more eloquent than
nreumcntative. and better skilled 111 cross-ox-
aminaiion then in applying the great principles
ot jurisprudence. When the leaders of the Irish
bur sat in Parliament, where ornamental rhetoric
was highly estimated, their oratory, thus chas
tened, was moie rational and .impressive than
when they aadressed a jury. There are now
many Iiishmen In successful practice at the
Ki'glish bar; two are on the bench, Sir James
Willes and Sir Samuel Martin; and the present
Attorney-General of England, Sir Hugh Cairns,
may probably become Lord Chancellor, with a
peerage, in the event 01 tne present administra
tion continuing in otlice. The consideration of
the interesting ejuestion, how does the present
bar ot Ireland compare in learning and elo-
ouence with that o' the past, we leave to others.
only observing that the honor and independence
of the profession have always been maintained
in lrclund.
Decline and Fall of Popular Songs.
A writer in All the Tear Hound says: "The
decline and fall ot the popular songs has been
sudden and rapid. Less than twenty years ago
we were still singing 'My Pretty Jane,' 'The
Maids of Merry England,' and 'Phillisis my only
Joy.' We rarely hear songs of this character
sung now, and there are no new songs of the
some class to take their place. The successor
of 'My Pretty Jane' was the 'Ratcatcher's
Daughter;' of Thillis, 'Naughty Jemima Brown.'
My Pretty Jane' was a foolish thing, to be sure,
but it we did press her to meet us meet us in
